Different people have different ideas about personal freedom and intimate space. Therefore, it may sometimes seem to some that others are invading their privacy. To prevent this from happening to you, learn to build personal boundaries when communicating with others.
Learn to say no
Sometimes people do what they do not want, just because they are afraid of offending others. If you feel uncomfortable when someone comes too quickly to bond with you, be it a friendship or a romantic relationship, think about yourself first. Do not be afraid to let the person know that you are not ready for such a development of the relationship.
Try not to let the person you do not like too close, just out of politeness, otherwise then you will suffer from forced communication with him.
If you are confused by someone violating your personal space, do not hesitate to talk about it. You can choose the wording and the degree of straightforwardness yourself, depending on the situation. If the person understands the hints perfectly, limit them to them. Doesn't catch your thoughts - make a warning and directly explain that you are not used to and not entirely comfortable with his communication style.
Be discreet
If you don't want your friends to discuss your life, you shouldn't advertise it. Be consistent. If you first tell your colleagues in full detail about your quarrel with a close friend, and then you are surprised that they shamelessly climb into your life, it looks illogical.
It is your responsibility to protect your privacy. Do you want people to know less about you and not to invade your affairs in an unceremonious way, do not talk about your every step on social networks and do not upload too personal photos on the Internet. You can share plans and express your thoughts in a notebook, keeping a diary.
To maintain some distance with individuals, refrain from inquiring about their lives. Otherwise, you will have to pay tribute for your own curiosity and respond with sincerity to sincerity.
Try to be friendly enough, but somewhat detached, with those around you whom you do not want to let too close to you. Believe me, people on a subconscious level will pick up the signals from your body and will take into account your conditions for maintaining contact, including the intention to observe personal boundaries.
Understand yourself
If you don't want to get close to anyone at all, you should think about it. Perhaps your desire to limit contact and establish barriers between yourself and other people speaks of your isolation.
The reason for this may be self-doubt. Alternatively, you consider yourself not a good enough person and are afraid of being rejected, underestimated. A defensive reaction is manifested in the desire to distance from other people.
Although it may be a matter of misanthropy. A cynical, arrogant attitude towards others is the other extreme in relation to the fear of evaluation. Such a person runs the risk of being completely alone and too late to realize his need to be loved, understood and accepted by someone.
